<VV> Shipping US to Canada

[BobHelt at aol.com]

When I send my books to Canada via the USPO, I have to fill out a  
declaration form stating what I am sending and the value. The clerk sticks the  form 
right to the package. Apparently the recipient gets taxed on the  value.
Regards,

So I  need to send a small Corvair part to a guy in Canada.  Ordinarily,  
within the States, I'd just put it in a small box, hand it to the Post  
Office, and be done with it.  But, to Canada, I wonder whether there  is 
more to it than just the necessary postage.  It is of relatively  small 
value, but it is clearly an "object" as opposed to a letter.   Advise?
